Four hundred "new" long-stay patients were studied and assessments of their needs for treatment and accommodation were made. About one third appeared to need further care in hospital. A further third could possibly be discharged if suitable accommodation in the community were available: most of this group were more handicapped than present residents in hostels. The remaining third had diverse needs; many were multiply handicapped--for example, by physical disability or mental retardation in addition to psychiatric disorder. At the moment the psychiatric hospital is virtually the only agency to accept the care of such people.
对400名“新”长期住院患者进行了研究，并对他们的治疗和住宿需求进行了评估。约三分之一的患者似乎需要进一步住院治疗。如果社区有合适的住所，另外三分之一的患者有可能出院：这组患者中的大多数比宿舍现有居民的残疾程度更高。其余三分之一有各种各样的需求；许多人有多重残疾——例如，除了精神疾病外，还有身体残疾或智力迟钝。目前，精神病院几乎是唯一接受照顾这类患者的机构。
